The expectations will be massive whenever there is a huge multi-starrer arriving. While other directors may struggle to reach the expectations, SS Rajamouli handled the stars brilliantly and delivered a solid product like ‘RRR’. The audience believed in Rajamouli’s direction right from the beginning and he exceeded everyone’s expectations.
He perfectly showcased NTR and Ram Charan as Komaram Bheem and Alluri Seetha Ramaraju. But there is one aspect in which he disappointed the audience. Right from the very beginning, the makers made it clear that Bollywood star heroine Alia Bhatt will be seen as the heroine for Ram Charan. No one usually brings such a star actress for a minor role and that is the reason why a lot of people kept their expectations high on Alia’s role.
Alia Bhatt promoted the film heavily and gave many interviews along with the team which made everyone think that she might have a very crucial role if not a lengthy one. On the other hand, foreign actress Olivia Morris who was supposed to be the heroine for NTR never took part in promotions. People thought that she has a very small role in the film.
But people who saw the movie were amazed to see the love track of Olivia and NTR having more screen time than Alia and Charan. The makers publicized that Alia has a very key role in this film but it is not the case. Compared to her, Olivia had a more significant role.
While Ajay Devgn had a small role too, it was quite impactful. Many viewers were surprised about Alia’s role and are now wondering how she accepted such a role. Analysts say that she was roped in just to attract the North audience. But fans of the ‘Gangubai Khatiawadi’ actress were highly disappointed after watching this film though they liked ‘RRR’ overall.
